Thermal baths tourism management in the world of modern tourism is very complex and involves the introduction of a range of contents and activities that, along with traditional treatment, would meet the needs of a modern tourist. In doing so, it is necessary to take into account the sustainable development, i.e. the balance between the usage and the sustainability of thermal baths resources.
